MEDIA INFORMATION

The ICC would like to thank our Commercial Partners for their support of the ICC Champions Trophy England & Wales 2013

ICC Champions Trophy 20132

It is my privilege as president of the International Cricket Council to welcome the world’s media to England and Wales for the ICC Champions Trophy 2013.

We are graced with three world class venues for the tournament –The Oval, Cardiff and of course Edgbaston, which will host the final on June 23 –all of which boast excellent media facilities.

ICC is dedicated to providing the best working environments for the journalists who travel to our global events, and the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 is no exception. The ICC Media and Communications team, led by Sami ul-Hasan, will be on hand to assist in that aim.

The world’s top eight 50-over teams will be battling for the ICC Champions Trophy – the second to be held in these shores. West Indies won back in 2004 in a thrilling final against England.

ICC wants to put on record our thanks to the England and Wales Cricket Board, its staff, the ground authorities, their staff and the volunteers, as well as the ICC staff who have worked so hard to make this tournament a success.

I would also like to thank the ICC’s broadcast and commercial partners for their continued support, which is so beneficial to the future development of the sport. And I would like to extend that thanks to members of the media, whose words, commentaries and pictures capture the excitement of our great game and transmit that excitement to millions upon millions of readers, viewers and listeners around the globe.

Alan Isaac ICC President

WELCOME ICC PRESIDENT

ICC Champions Trophy 2013 3

WELCOME TOURNAMENT DIRECTORAs Tournament Director and on behalf of the International Cricket Council and the England and Wales Cricket Board I would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone participating – the competing nations, match officials, spectators, sponsors, broadcasters and of course, the global media.

The ICC Champions Trophy is held every four years and brings together the eight best one-day international teams in the world. The top two teams in each group of four progress to a semi-final, and then onto the final on the 23rd June. We are no doubt set for an amazing display of pressure, passion and enthusiasm.

ICC Champions Trophy 2013 provides fans and spectators the chance to see the finest one - day cricketers in the world in action at some of the greatest venues in the country, the Oval, Cardiff Wales and Edgbaston.

To ensure that the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 delivers a great experience for all our loyal cricket fans we have put together “The Cricketeers” which is a team of volunteers to help you get the most from your visit at the matches.

I wish all competing nations and all those visiting our shores the best of luck and look forward to fifteen exciting matches of one-day cricket, which is the hallmark of the ICC Champions Trophy.

Enjoy the tournament with us!

TRAVELLING IN ENGLAND & WALES

ICC Champions Trophy 2013 1.1


England and WalEsThe United Kingdom (UK) is made up of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and has a population of over 61 million people.

The UK is located off the north-western coast of continental Europe, with a total area of approximately 243,610 square kilometres (94,060 sq. miles). Lying between the North Atlantic and the North Sea, the UK comes within 35 km (22 mi) of the northwest coast of France, from which it is separated by the English Channel.

English is the main language throughout the UK but you will also find Welsh being spoken in Wales. The UK is a hub of cultural diversity, and you will find different languages being spoken wherever you go.

ClimatEThe UK has a temperate climate. The temperature varies with the seasons, with summer starting around June. This will see the average temperatures start to rise to 20 °C (68 °F).

The prevailing winds come off the Atlantic Ocean in the south-west, and can bear frequent spells of mild and wet weather to the west. During the summer months, this is normally at a minimum, leaving the UK dry and warm.

thE monarChyThe monarchy is the oldest institution of government in the world. Queen Elizabeth II is directly descended from King Egbert, who united England under his rule in 829. The only interruption in the history of the monarchy was the republic, which lasted from 1649 to 1660.

Today, the Queen is not only Head of State, but also an important symbol of national unity. The Queen’s title in UK is ‘Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith’. In the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, the Queen is represented by a Lieutenant-Governor.

thE CommonWEalthAlthough the seat of the monarchy is in the UK, the Queen is also head of state of a number of Commonwealth states. In each state, the Queen is represented by a Governor-General, appointed by her on the advice of the ministers of the country concerned and completely independent of the British Government. In each case, the form of the royal title varies. Other Commonwealth states are republics or have their own monarchies. In British-dependent territories, governors usually represent the Queen.

rEligionThe official religion in the UK is Christianity as practised by the Anglican Church. Followers of this branch of Christianity are known as Protestants. Christians constitute about 71% of the population, but the UK is a multi-faith society and all other religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism are freely practised.

ICC Champions Trophy 20131.2

safEty and sECurityEngland and Wales are generally considered safe counties by international standards, with low rates of street crime and violence.

Like any big cities, it is worth using common sense and taking sensible precautions like those you probably already practice in your own country. Here are a few tips:

• It is advised that you have insurance cover for your travel to the UK

• Plan your route before you leave

• Do not leave your bag unattended anywhere - this can lead to a security alert

• In the UK, cars drive on the left. To ensure you cross the road safely, use designated crossings and only cross when the green figure shows. Take note of the signs indicating to “look right” or “look left” to spot oncoming traffic.

All media personnel are advised to refer to the specific advisories issued by their respective national agencies.

mEdiCal and vaCCination information Be sure your routine vaccinations are up to date prior to your travel. You do not require an International Certificate of Vaccination when travelling to the UK, but you should check if one is needed on re-entry into your own country.

The National Health Service (NHS) offers walk-in medical centres throughout the UK, which provide healthcare advice, information and treatment for minor injuries and illnesses. These centres are open to overseas visitors, though a charge may apply. These centres can be found at www.nhs.uk

finanCEThe Great British Pound (sterling) (GBP) is the currency used in United Kingdom, with the symbol £.

The approximate exchange rate: 0.65 GBP to 1 USD.

ATMs (cash machines) are widespread around all city centres at banks, high streets and shopping centres. International cards are commonly accepted providing they have a four-digit PIN encoded.

Banks are generally open from 9:30am – 4:30pm Monday to Friday and 10:00am – 1:00pm Saturdays. Banks are closed on Sundays.

All cards bearing the Visa, MasterCard or American Express logo are widely accepted in the UK. If your card does not display one of those logos you should contact your bank in advance prior to your travel.




tippingTipping is not obligatory in the UK.

In some restaurants, a service charge is added to the bill, typically 10% or 12.5%. This will be noted on the menu as ‘service included’. If service isn’t included you are not obligated to tip. It is at your discretion if you wish to leave a tip or not.

For taxis, it is not necessary to tip but is customary to round up to the nearest pound on metered taxi journeys or if the driver has assisted with your bags.

visas and CustomsVisa requirements are frequently revised, and you are advised to check with the United Kingdom visa website for the latest information regarding your entry to the UK: www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk

Custom controls at UK points of entry distinguish between goods bought within the European Union and duty free goods bought elsewhere. Visit HM Revenue and Customs website for full details: www.hmrc.gov.uk

ESSENTIAL MEDIA INFORMATION

4


OVERVIEWThe ICC Champions Trophy 2013 aims to provide extensive, world-class facilities to the media.

This section provides the practical information you require in relation to the media facilities available, both on match days and non-match days.

These facilities include:

• accreditation information

• venue media facilities

• accreditation centres

• additional media services available during the tournament

AccREdItAtIOn OVERVIEWA full tournament accreditation system will be in operation across all venues for all ICC Champions Trophy 2013 matches, warm-up matches and practice sessions.

The accreditation system is designed to help, not to hinder. Its purpose is to provide accredited persons with a controlled environment in which they can work as efficiently and as effectively as possible. Accreditation is the method of providing access to match venues for all working personnel who do not hold a match ticket.

Media personnel wishing to access the stadia or any off-site practice grounds on non-match days are advised to wear their accreditation, while the NRH camera persons will be provided venue-specific bibs, as the venue security will be operating 24 hours a day during the tournament, and accreditation will be required to access media facilities and any preferential media parking that may be arranged.

An accreditation pass is personal and non-transferable. Any breach of this condition will lead to immediate revocation of the accreditation.

It allows access to certain accredited areas but does not entitle the holder to a press seat or photo position. On match days, a press box or photographer pass will be required, which will be scanned at turnstiles. Certain members of the media will also require a secondary accreditation device (see below).

All media accreditation-related queries should be directed to [email protected].

All broadcast accreditation-related queries should be directed to [email protected] or [email protected].

ESSEntIAL MEdIA InFORMAtIOn


AccREdItAtIOn GUIdE

AccREdItAtIOn cEntRESThere will be an accreditation centre located in each host city. The accreditation centre in London will be open from Friday, 24 May 2013, and its hours of operation are listed later in this section.

The accreditation centre in Cardiff and Birmingham will be open from Monday, 20 May 2013, and their operating hours are also listed in this section.

Please note the published hours are subject to change should the need arise.

tOURnAMEnt AccREdItAtIOn pASS cOLLEctIOn pROcEdURESWritten press and photographers must collect their passes from the accreditation centre they indicated in their original application.

All accreditation passes must be collected in person. You will be asked to produce the photo identity document you provided when you applied on line for accreditation in order to collect your pass, a copy of which will be taken for our records. You will be asked to sign for your pass on receipt. Collection and signature will confirm your agreement to the media tournament terms and conditions.

LOSt / StOLEn / FORGOttEn AccREdItAtIOn pASSESAny lost or stolen accreditation pass represents a potential compromise to tournament security. It is therefore essential that every effort is made to look after passes. A lost or stolen pass should be immediately reported to the nearest police station (a police report will be required), to any operational accreditation centre, and via email to [email protected]. A full police investigation will be undertaken prior to any decision being made to re-issue the pass and this is likely to cause a delay. If a pass has been left at a hotel or other local venue, the accredited media person will be required to return to the location to retrieve it. No additional or temporary pass will be issued.


MEdIA tIcKEtInG

tOURnAMEnt AccREdItAtIOn pASS And MAtch ALLOcAtIOnSMedia will be issued with a tournament accreditation pass that is valid for all tournament venues, warm-up matches and official team practices.

As entrance to venues on match days will be barcoded, only the match-day journalists (print and electronic) will be allowed access inside the venue. Photographers will also be issued a numbered bib on each match day.

A media accreditation pass itself does not automatically entitle the holder to entry into the venue. All passes will be scanned on match days and only those who have been allocated a seat in the press box, or a photo position, will be able to enter. Note that non-rights holding broadcasters will not be permitted to bring any recording equipment into the venue on match days.

pRESS BOx, MEdIA cEntRE, OVERFLOW SEAtInG ALLOcAtIOnSSpace is limited at each venue due to high demand, so please be aware that your match/press box and photography position request is not necessarily a guarantee that the ICC will be able to accommodate all your requests.

A waiting list will operate and media who do not take up a position they have requested in a press box or overflow seat 30 minutes before the scheduled start of play may lose their allocation.

code of conduct Please note that photographers are required to agree to the code of conduct for the tournament as well as the tournament media terms and conditions. For full details, please refer to the media section of the official event site at www.icc-cricket.com.

Photographers should adhere to the requests of security personnel, tournament officials and venue staff at all times.

Special Requests for photographersFinal arrangements at each venue will be confirmed at the photographers’ briefing. Should photographers wish to take venue shots prior to the game they should make this clear to the venue photographer manager before the briefing. Every effort will be made to give photographers access to their requested vantage points.

Equally, should photographers wish to gain access to a specific elevated position or locate a remote camera, they should make this request to the venue photographer manager. Whenever possible, photographers are encouraged to meet with the photographer manager prior to match days at the stadium to discuss any special requests. Wherever possible, the requests will be facilitated, although access to restricted locations may not be available in all cases.

Photographers should note that any cameras or equipment left in remote positions or unattended at any time are the responsibility of the individual. The ICC, the ECB, tournament staff and volunteers cannot take responsibility for any equipment misplaced, damaged, lost or stolen.

MEdIA tIcKEtInG

no ShowsJournalists and photographers who have requested and been allocated to a match-day or photo position and who subsequently fail to collect that ticket, or fail to report their cancellation before the deadline without good reason, may be penalised and placed at the bottom of the priority order for the next match. Multiple no-shows without prior warning may result in further match requests being suspended for the individual and organisation. Failure to attend two match days, which have been requested by an individual, may result in the withdrawal of accreditation.

Media should advise of any cancellations or revised plans by emailing [email protected].

Applications for Semi-Finals and Final Accreditation for press box positions/photo positions at the semi-finals and the final can only be made after the conclusion of first round matches on 17 June 2013 through individuals’ online accounts.

Established in 1845, the 23,500-seater oval is seen as ‘where it all began’. the first-ever test on English soil was played at the oval in September 1880, with England defeating australia by five wickets, and WG Grace scoring a hundred on debut.

the oval is also where the legend of the ashes was born. in august 1882, chasing only 85 to win, England slumped from 51 for 2 to 78 all out and the next morning, the Sporting times published its famous mock obituary.

owned by the duchy of Cornwall (the Prince of Wales), the oval came about in the 1790s when an oval road was laid around what was then a cabbage patch. the land was opened as a cricket ground in 1845 after 10,000 turfs were brought in from tooting Common. it has been Surrey headquarters ever since, even though it has been well outside the county boundary for many years.

the oval first hosted an odi in September 1973, when England lost to West indies by eight wickets. the first t20i was played at the ground in June 2007, again a loss to the West indies (by 15 runs).

City information, BirminGHamBirmingham is a city in the West Midlands to the north-west of the capital, London.

Growing from a market town in the medieval period, Birmingham developed during the 18th century and the subsequent Industrial Revolutions to become the United Kingdom’s second largest city, behind London.

During the last few centuries, manufacturing has formed the heart of the city. Thousands of small workshops practise a wide variety of specialised and highly skilled trades, including the production of pens, buckles, buttons and jewellery, growing the city’s economy and shaping it to be the city it is today. Many of these industries are still visible around the city. This spirit of innovation and improvement is encapsulated in the city’s motto ‘Forward’.

The range in architecture is vast within Birmingham, from medieval churches to Georgian houses to modern award winning buildings such as the Bullring Shopping Centre and the Selfridges Building. Many of these sites can be seen while walking around the city’s canals.

Places of WorshipPlaces of worship such as churches, gurdwaras, mosques, synagogues and temples are plentiful in Birmingham.

Birmingham City Canals


It’s a short, sharp format involving some of the best rivalries in the game and on grounds that are sometimes overlooked for such major matches, which should ensure particularly enthusiastic crowds

What is the best cricket match you’ve watched at Edgbaston?

A tied Championship game between Warwickshire and Essex in 2003. Essex was set 380 to win in the 4th innings but Ashley Giles bowled Graham Napier with a few balls to go.

What is your favourite thing about Edgbaston?

I could tell you that, with the stands so close to the pitch, it has the best atmosphere at any ground in the UK; it would certainly be true.

What is your favourite way of travelling around Birmingham?

Gondola. We have more canals than Venice, you know. Though maybe when it comes to canals you should judge by quality not quantity.

What is your favourite thing to do in Birmingham?

One of the great things about Birmingham is its proximity to so many other places. You can be in the Shropshire countryside or on the Malvern hills in little more than half an hour from the city centre.

Which is your favourite restaurant in Birmingham?

The Carib Grill, just up the road in Moseley, is very nice. Cucina Rustica, just off St Paul’s Square, is excellent for Italian food. And The Plough, in Harborne, is such a good pub that, after a few days abroad, I have dreams about it.

UPCOMING ICC EVENTS


ICC INITIATIVES

ROOM TO REAdThe ICC piloted a partnership with Room to Read at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011, and the success of this initiative has convinced both parties to continue their association.

The long-term partnership aims to promote literacy and gender equality in education throughout Asia and Africa through campaigning, awareness-raising and tactical fundraising.

The partnerships’ three global champions are Virat Kohli, Angelo Mathews and Shane Watson.

In the last two years, the partnership has seen the opening of legacy libraries from the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 in Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka, and the launch of local language books in Sri Lanka and India, while another legacy library was opened this year during the ICC Women’s World Cup India 2013.

During the ICC Champions Trophy 2013, Room to Read will continue its positive work by raising awareness of the charity and its values across the globe.


ICC INITIATIVES

ChANCE TO ShINE AT ThE ICC ChAMPIONS TROPhy 2013during the ICC Champions Trophy 2013, the ICC is supporting the UK-based cricket campaign ‘Chance to Shine’, a campaign that is aided by the UK-based charity the Cricket Foundation, which works regularly with the England and Wales Cricket Board.

‘Chance to Shine’ is bringing cricket back to schools across the UK. Before the Cricket Foundation launched the schools’ cricket programme in 2005, fewer than 10% of state schools played competitive cricket. ‘Chance to Shine’ is now running in 6,500 schools, and 1.8million children have enjoyed cricket opportunities as a result.

The programme is not just about cricket, young people involved in the programme are developing essential life skills and values, such as leadership, discipline, teamwork and understanding how to win and lose.

The ICC will be working closely with the programme, hosting coaching clinics with ‘Chance to Shine’ schools with some of the international teams involved in the tournament and also dedicating two matches to highlighting the work of the programme. Further information on this will be released in due course.


hEAdING hEAdING

ThINK WISE (UNAIdS ANd UNICEF)The ICC’s Think Wise partnership with UNAIdS and UNICEF has been raising awareness and reducing stigma around hIV and AIdS since 2003.

Among the global champions of this partnership are Kumar Sangakkara, Graeme Smith and Stafanie Taylor.

In the past year, high profile activities have taken place across four continents. Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara visited HIV and sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust in London; Graeme Smith and members of his squad enjoyed a day of cricket with a group of children orphaned and made vulnerable by AIDS in their home country; and the leading female players lent their support to the campaign with five captains from the teams competing in the Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2011 visiting people living with HIV and AIDS in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

The ICC Champions Trophy England and Wales 2013 will be working with its partners to deliver activities of these initiatives during the course of the tournament. Further details of these activities will be announced in due course, including information on what player activities/opportunities there are for the media to cover these events.
